Harpur Cinema Presents: MOM (Mamá)

Please join us for a screening of MOM (Mamá) dir. by Xun Sero!

"As a Mexican Tzotzil I grew up between the sacrality both of Guadalupe Virgin and Mother Earth. As a son, I grew up among the derision of not having a father and blaming my mother for it. ‘Mom’ is a dialogue between mother and son exploring their contradictions, knowing and recognizing each other, and reflecting on naturalized violence and its reproduction."

Xun Sero is a Maya-Tsotsil filmmaker, born in Chiapas, Mexico. He began his work in documentary filmmaking by chronicling events related to the struggle of indigenous peoples in Chiapas. He tries to develop the true cultural heritage of the characters and to avoid clichés about indigenous peoples. He currently works as a cinematographer. "Mom", his directorial debut, was selected at Hot Docs, IDFA and FIC Guadalajara, as well as more than 60 festivals, winning 20 awards. In 2022 Variety magazine considered "Mom" as “one of the 10 Mexican films that contribute to diversity and giving voice to that diversity”.

Doors open at 7:00pm, screening starts at 7:30pm.
